Cooking quality family meals on a budget can have its challenges at times. Most of us have our staple go to meals but a bit of inspiration every now and then is great to throw some variety into the mix.

We set ourselves a challenge to use only ALDI ingredients and create 10 kid friendly recipes for under $10 that your family are sure to love. Some our recipes are a twist on a family staple, others you can whip up in under 20 minutes and some even cost under $5 total.

For each of our recipes we have included a link to a video tutorial to make it super easy to follow so you don’t miss a step. The other great thing is some of these are simple enough for your teenage children to make and follow along to give yourself a real break from cooking and encourage your kids to give it go.

These meals are simple, kid friendly and use common ingredients you would have in the cupboard already which helps reduce waste. We have used the same ingredients across many of our 10 recipes in order to keep the meals under $10 each.

We want to acknowledge that if you were to go and buy all of the ingredients for each of these meals the cost would come to over $10 each as our costing is for the quantity used not the entire packet. All of the ingredients we have used have a shelf life of at least a week so used in conjunction with the other recipes you should be able to keep your costs down. The key is meal planning and making sure you plan to use the ingredients you buy.

All of these meal with make enough to feed 2 adults and 2 children however many of them will leave you with leftovers for lunch.

If you’re after very basic meals, this is a good little book. Personally, I regret purchasing it as most of the recipes are things I already make. Including an omelette as a recipe seems a poor decision to me.
However (and this is the big point), you may get a lot out of this book if you don’t normally cook at home and want some straight forward ideas. The fact that all the ingredients are from Aldi is handy.
The recipes themselves are sound, though I personally don’t like using tinned soups in my cooking.
If I’d had the opportunity to look at the contents page/list of recipes, I wouldn’t have bought the book.
I’m normally a big fan of Aldi Mum, & wish Sam all the best.

I love Aldi so much I have started this page!!! In my journeys i have realised there are those who have an obsessive love for Aldi and those who are yet to understand its magic. I am writing to unite us Aldi lovers and educate those who are yet to love Aldi!! It will be practical, helpful, amusing and to the point.....A bit like Aldi really!!!
Since starting Aldi Mum, Aldi have become aware of this page and they do financially support me to run the giveaways on this page!!
